It is saying that you do not have a JAVA_HOME environment variable
defined.
Is a JAVA JDK installed? Do you have JAVA_HOME defined pointing to the
installation?

When I try to start up "catalina", it says that it cannot find JAVA_HOME,
but I am not sure why...

A couple of things:
The list in general strips attachments, so your log did not make it
through.
The file httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi is for installing the
Apache
web server. The Apache web server is useful if you are planning to write
PHP,
Perl, Python, or Lisp/Scheme web sites.
The file apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe is the file for installing Apache Tomcat
as a
service on Windows. Tomcat is useful if you are planning to write Java web
sites.
If you run Tomcat on Windows as a service, the installer will figure
everything
out. The service installation is good enough for many uses. Documentation
for
service installation is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Windows
Documentation for managing the service under Windows is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html
If you are going to actively develop Java web applications, then it's
sometimes
useful to install from the zip archive. Many IDEs use the batch files from
the
zip archive to start and stop Tomcat.
Just unzip the archive in a directory that you have read/write access to.
Add an
environment variable called JAVA_HOME and point it to your installation of
the
Java JRE. On Windows the JRE is usually located in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6
(for the latest versions of Java).
Now to run the unzipped version of Apache Tomcat, just open a DOS command
window, navigate to the bin directory under where you unpacked the zip
file. For
example, if you unpacked the zip file in C:\, the bin subdirectory would be
in
C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\bin. Type startup (which will run startup.bat) to
start
Tomcat, and shutdown (which will run shutdown.bat) to stop Tomcat.
To get your IDE to work with Tomcat, it's best to ask on the IDE mailing
list
(for example, NetBeans or Eclipse).
On my XP system, I've installed both. I set the service startup to manual,
and I
point my IDE (NetBeans) to the zip file installation.
. . . . just my two cents

Subject: Installation problem [newbie]
I ran into an installation problem, and, hope you can help me out with it.
Initially I tried running the
installer (httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi), on my laptop which
runs
Windows XP, and, I was prompted for the following:
Network Domain - laptop is a standalone pc and field is mandatory; is a
workaround available?
Server Name - is this the name of the computer?
Administrator's Email address - no problem :)
The instructions available online do not seem to be relevant for this
installation file, and, I was told that I should try downloading from
another
location.
So I downloaded Apache Tomcat 6.0.29, which I assumed is the latest stable
version, and, I am following RUNNING.txt for the installation.
Even though I think I created the Java variables (section 1), when I
run startup.bat, an error is displayed.
See tomcat.installation.command.log which is attached to this email.
Any ideas, please?
